The figure of Time reclines against a broken column surrounded by symbols of destruction: a collapsing church tower, dead trees, a bankrupcy notice served on Nature, a tombstone, a clock without hands, Phaeton falling from his chariot, a will, a shop-sign for "The World's End", a gallows, a burning impression of Hogarth's print "The Times" and broken objects, including an artist's palette, hour-glass, crown, rifle, bell, bottle, and broom. Two medallions on either side of the caption and their surrounding text concern the Line of Beauty. Three more columns of text between the medallions include quotes in Latin from Tactius and Maximus of Tyre, with an English translation
